Answer 2

Here are some alternative facts: Well what do you think?

Some of the Cola Facts and alternative uses:
1. Colas contain citric acid and are therefore very corrosive. In many states of USA the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. One can put a t-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.
4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
5. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
8. To bake a moist piece of meat: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the meat in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the meat is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown gravy.
9. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
10. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
11. To carry Coca Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck in the USA must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive materials.
12. The distributors of coke [all over the world] have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
13. At first Colas contained cocaine, which was legal at the time (hence the name "Coca"-Cola.) When cocaine became illegal it was replaced with caffeine, which had a similar effect of stimulating the body and creating an addiction. Both Pepsi and Coca Cola contain high amount of caffeine.
14. Even Indian Heads of Colas have openly accepted the fact that the colas are harmful for children’s and teens.
15. Even many of the farmers have used the Colas in the place of pesticides and noticed that it is working better than pesticides in their farms.

17. There was a competition in Delhi University: "Who can drink the most Coke?".
The winner drank 8 bottles and died on the spot because he had too much carbon dioxide in the blood and not enough oxygen.
18. We can also test the acidity of Colas by putting a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi or Coca cola, in 10 days it will fully dissolve!

Answer 3

Why do people still drink coffee and tea as they contains a mild toxin called 'caffeine'? Why do people brush their teeth as the paste contains a chemical called 'chloro fluro carbon' which leaves a huge hole on the ozone layer which is harmful to health? Why do people smoke as the tobacco not only kills the smoker but also kills others who happen to live around? Why do people drink alcohol as it kills the liver slowly and leads to brain damage? Why do people drive cars as they emit carbon oxide into the atmos which creates global warming? If the saying 'one man's food is another man's poison' is strictly put to practice no one can eat or drink on earth as life in itself has a slow sundial death said by the philosopher Fredric Nietszhe.

Answer 4

it really is okay to drink soda even as pregnant. in basic terms attempt to do it sparsely. I received a yearning for Cherry Pepsi/Coke even as i became pregnant. as long as you do not drink 64oz of soda particularly of water, you're high quality. Moderation is the most important. it received't damage your baby. My daughter is high quality, she isn't hyperactive or something. some human beings say that your toddler could have withdrawls after the start from caffeine. not authentic.
